BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

I think it should! The IP change on ethernet worked. I wish I would have figured it out on this USB adapter though haha not sure what Ill use that for now. Now to find a solid PTZ
Were you able to change the adapter to the .1. subnet?
For $10 you will find a use for it. I find it way easier than the config tool.
Here are the PTZs we would recommend.
Best overall value on the ideal MP/sensor ratio:
Cheapest one but will struggle at night due to less than ideal MP/sensor ratio:

No I didnt figure out how to change the adapter.. I was supposed to plug it into the camera right? I couldnt see it anywhere.
And also - wow this empire is quite a bit more crisp than those amcrests. I would hope so for almost triple the cost

You will not be able to see the camera in IPCONFIG!
IPCONFIG is a command that you run on your PC to show the network configuration for the Network interfaces on that PC
You should be able to see the camera in the DAHUA config program, using the wrong program name or terminology can cause a great deal of confusion for all of us!
Well the dahua program says ConfigTool which is what I was meaning, but I got it working by changing my network adapters IP finally
Glad you were able to finally get it to work!No I didnt figure out how to change the adapter.. I was supposed to plug it into the camera right? I couldnt see it anywhere.

Oh GREAT another problem. I found a IPC-T54IR-AS on facebook used for $90 10 minutes away and went and picked it up. Plugged it in, intialized it, switched network IP and the camera GUI browser loaded up, but im unable to click on anything. The video feed doesnt load, the menu kind of loads but when I try to click on any of the menu items on the left hand side nothing happens! Doesnt respond to any mouse click, so I cant change the cameras IP did I get screwed?? I reset it and tried to also switch ports on the switch, same problem
Yeah I changed it to 109, I was able to login to it via browser immediately. But I could not view the camera or click any of the menu items
Blue and white, I'm using Edge, same exact way I set up the one earlier. It lets me login with the password successfully and everything but I cant click on network, settings, it just doesnt do anything its really weird. The menu is like glitched?
Make sure the IE tab is on.
Or try Internet Explorer. Sometimes these firmwares get wonky quick. Especially if the previous person updated firmware before they decided to sell it. Most here will factory reset 3 times.
It may be worth a deep factory reset where you provide power and hold reset for 1 minute and then let go.

Can you even get Internet explorer anymore? I'll try the hard reset, I only did it for like 15 seconds until the IR lights went off and reset
Yeah Explorer is still baked into Windows because it uses aspects of it still, they just made it hidden.
As a practice, I set up every camera with Explorer and it has never been an issue.

How to enable native Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and 11:
- Open Notepad:
- Copy then paste the single line of code below into Notepad:
- CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
- Save as OpenIE.vbs
- Make sure the the file name ends in .vbs not .txt, If it ends in .txt you must rename to .vbs
- Create a shortcut to the above file and double-click it anytime you want native Internet Explorer
- Download any of the plug-in the NVR or camera asks for.

I love my Config tool @wittaj!
You can have my Config tool when you pry from my cold dead hands!

Man this is aggravating. Now an amcrest camera I've had up for
AHHH! Now this morning, I check on my cameras and they are all lagging. Extremely choppy, yesterday was perfect buttery smooth and now you can hardly even watch someone walk by they just skip around the frames! I didnt change a single setting. I'm starting to have extreme regrets getting into blue iris, I thought it would be at least somewhat reliable, every day is a different issue. My old crappy costco lorex DVR system went YEARS without a hiccup. I reset the PC, individual cameras and router.

Are you running max FPS ? Try 15
Substreams? On?
It’s a learning curve I’ve found worthwhile in the end.
What is your BI setup?
Processor ,ram, video storage drive?

20 fps, h264, sub streams on, direct encoding, BI setup is in my signature. 2tb WD drive. I mean, I understand learning curves for new software, but the fact that I changed zero settings or hardware and overnight it went from perfectly smooth to almost unusable.. why!!!!
